Answer:

Amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater = 40 g

Explanation:

According to Archimedes principle, a body will float in a fluid if the upthrust experienced by a body is equal to the to the weight of the body.

Also, the volume of seawater displaced equals the volume of freshwater in the cup.

From the above principle, since the freshwater and cup floats in the seawater, their combined weight equals the upthrust.

Therefore, mass of equal volume of displaced seawater = mass of freshwater + mass of cup

Mass of freshwater = density of freshwater * volume

density of freshwater = 1 g/mL; volume = 375 mL

mass of freshwater = 375 mL * 1 g/mL = 375 g

mass of seawater = 375 + 15 = 390 g

mass of salt in 375 mL seawater = mass of seawater - mass of freshwater

mass of salt = (390 - 375) g = 15 g

Since 15 g of salt are dissolved in 375 mL seawater, mass of salt in 1 L of seawater =(1000 mL/ 375) * 15g = 40 g

Therefore, amount of salt dissolved in each liter of seawater = 40 g

Explain why the atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group ?​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

In general, atomic radius decreases across a period and increases down a group. ... Down a group, the number of energy levels (n) increases, so there is a greater distance between the nucleus and the outermost orbital. This results in a larger atomic radius.

What the resalut H2SO4 +CO3-=?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

H2SO4 + CO3 = H2CO3 + SO4

Explanation:

H2SO4 + CO3

This is the reaction of sulphuric acid and carbon trioxide.

Balanced reaction is;

H2SO4 + CO3 = H2CO3 + SO4

So they react to produce carbonic acid and sulfate.
